Have you thought of the work visa situation? If you are not a Canadian or Australian citizen you would definitely need to look into that before going any further with this idea.

I dont know about Australia, but I can imagine its similar to Canada which I am familiar with: there is no limit but the salaries are not going to be as high at the top (165k market or whatever). In addition in Canada after graduation you need to do an articling period, kind of like a residency for doctors in which you receive low pay and you are learning how to be a lawyer. 10 months in Ontario I believe, could be less or more elsewhere.

In terms of difficulty, there are FAR fewer law schools in Canada (fifteen), of course there is a lower population but even per capita it is far fewer. So it would make sense that they are more difficult to get into relatively.

But the visa thing is the number 1 question you need to answer first.

Thanks, I have looked into visas and I would qualify after I graduate and work for a year.
